Analisis Hukum Pidana Terhadap Tindak Pidana Kekerasan dalam Rumah Tangga: Pendekatan Restoratif

The crime of domestic violence (DV) is a serious issue that affects the welfare of individuals and society. The results showed that the causes of domestic violence include psychological, economic, and social factors, as well as cultural norms that support violence. In addition, law enforcement often experiences obstacles, such as a lack of understanding of the law, stigma against victims, and limited resources. In the context of criminal law, the restorative approach focuses on victim recovery and offender rehabilitation, which is considered more humane than the retributive approach.
